Alison Arngrim learned to embrace "Nasty Nellie."

The show continued for another 4 seasons and a spinoff often rebranded as season 9.

After being nursed back to health by Charles, Joe decides to stay in Walnut Grove and make a new living as a farmer.
Michael Landon directed almost half of the series’ episodes.
The last scene belongs to Charles and Caroline alone. Charles tells Laura that he will take her and John Jr. fishing and that he will surely become jealous because she will catch the bigger fish. However, Laura mostly spends time with Carl and it is clear from Season 2’s “His Father’s Son”, that John Jr. does not like to harm animals. The abandoned house that Albert and James find in the storm is the same house that Laura and Almanzo later own in Season 9.
Ms. Lester later debuts as Hester Sue Terhune in Season 5’s “Blind Journey” and plays this character for the remainder of the series. In the scene where all the men have gathered in the church, you see Mr. Foster holding his twin girls. Apparently, there is a stain on one of the dresses, so someone tells Mr. Foster that hot water will take the stain right out. Actually though, cold water removes stains whereas hot water only sets them.
Later at the circus, Nels announces [as the ring master] to all in attendance that Annabelle is his sister and how proud he is of her. Charles convinces Albert to attend the livery school.

But later, one of his tables with his 'CI' mark is bought as a prized antique at an auction approximately 100 years later in the then present day (1982). Then an obesely overweight boy, Elmer, joins the school and is teased by his classmates, but he is a bright student and Nancy exploits his attraction to her. Albert and Willie see what she is doing and get her into trouble with Laura, but Nancy blames Elmer who decides to quit school, so the boys have to put things right. The characters Mary and Adam had taken a back seat and only appeared a handful of times in the 7th season. Melissa Sue Anderson decided to leave the show, and only appeared in 2 episodes of season 8.
“It was great fun playing with fire and getting to act up a storm,” Parady once said. ” Parady has even been known to re-enact her final, dramatic scene at some cast reunions. For the first time in this episode, we hear Almanzo’s full name. Eliza Jane calls him “Almanzo James Wilder” as he’s about to storm out of his house after learning that his sister has been bullied by one of her students. Neither of them could move, and the roof of the coach created a virtual wall between them. Reaching each other to share the canteen, therefore, was impossible.
Well, those came not from the Ingalls’ chicken coop, but from Kentucky Fried Chicken. The movie was a huge ratings hit, and since it had a sort-of cliffhanger ending, the network was deluged with inquiries from viewers asking “What happened to the Ingalls family next? And while the show itself was very family-friendly and wholesome, the antics behind the scenes of the long-running series weren't always so PG-rated. Look very closely at the expression on Nellie’s face when Percival says, “Now for the honeymoon!
Meanwhile, Mary is heavily pregnant, and soon gives birth to Charles' and Caroline's first grandson, Adam Charles Holbrook Kendall. Laura and her new friend, Andy Garvey, find an injured mother wolf trying to tend to her pack of cubs. Andy takes the wolf and her babies home to care for them.
